Objective: To explore the molecular expression differences and prognostic characteristics of lung cancer during the malignant transition from adenomatous hyperplasia to advanced lung cancer. Methods: (1) 68 cases of surgically resected lung tumor tissue samples were collected, immunohistochemistry staining was performed, programmed death ligand 1(PD-L1), epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR), TP53 in atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) were detected, and analysis of its related clinical factors was done. (2) The correlations of between expressions of PD-L1 in IAC patients and clinical pathological characteristics, clinical prognosis. Results: (1) PD-L1 was highly expressed in IAC, EGFR was highly expressed in AAH and AIS stage, TP53 was highly expressed in MIA and IAC, but not in AAH and AIS. Among the many factors, the patient's age, sex and smoking status were statistically significant (P<0.05), and the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR) and the ratio of platelets to lymphocytes (PLR) was not statistically significant (P>0.05). (2) The survival rate of IAC patients with PD-L1 positive expression was lower than that of patients of PD-L1 negative expressions(P<0.05). Conclusion: EGFR may be an early molecular event in lung cancer, while TP53 is a relatively late molecular event that drives lung tumor progression. The expression of PD-L1 is related to tumor proliferation, increased invasiveness and shortened survival of patients in lung adenocarcinoma. |
